Just remembered it is this year and upon a quick Google, it starts in less than 1 month.
I suppose the perfect storm of the USMNT not qualifying + it being in Russia means there won't be a ton of interest (side note: lol @ fox paying up for that TV contract).
In any event, it is one of the greatest sporting events on earth, so who are you guys rooting for? I'm rooting for Costa Rica and Mexico.
Here's who I've got coming out of each group.
Group A - cake walk as Saudi Arabia and Egypt fail to advance
1A Uruguay
2A Russia
Group B - also a near guarantee (Iran and Morocco fail to advance)
1B Portugal
2B Spain
Group C - decent group with Denmark and Australia
1C France
2C Peru
Group D - solid group with Nigeria and Iceland
1D Argentina
2D Croatia
Group E - Switzerland and Serbia fail to advance
1E Costa Rica
2E Brazil
Group F - Sweden and S. Korea fail to advance
1F Germany
2F Mexico
Group G - England and Tunisia, England fails to advance
1G Belgium
2G Panama
Group H - Poland and Japan fail to advance
1H Colombia
2H Senegal
Also, I know very little about soccer.
